Our team of expert podiatrists is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care and helping you find relief from the discomfort and pain caused by ingrown toenails.
Understanding Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, inflammation, and possible infection. This condition is common and can affect anyone, causing significant discomfort and impact on daily activities.
If you're experiencing symptoms such as pain, swelling, redness, or an infected area around your toenail, it's essential to seek professional help to prevent further complications.
Expert Podiatric Care
At The Foot Practice, we offer comprehensive and personalized treatment for ingrown toenails. Our highly skilled podiatrists have years of experience in diagnosing and managing this condition effectively.
Evaluation and Diagnosis
During your initial consultation, our podiatrist will carefully examine your affected toe, assessing the severity of the ingrown toenail and any signs of infection. We will also evaluate your overall foot health to identify any contributing factors.
Our patient-centered approach ensures that we understand your unique needs and concerns before recommending appropriate treatment options.
Treatment Options
Based on the assessment, our podiatrist will recommend the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your specific condition. Here are some common treatment options for ingrown toenails:
- Conservative Treatment: In mild cases, non-invasive treatments can be effective in alleviating pain and reducing inflammation. This may include soaking your foot in warm water, gentle lifting of the ingrown nail edge, and applying topical antiseptics or antibiotic creams to prevent or manage infection.
- Partial Nail Avulsion: For recurrent or more severe cases, where conservative treatment is unsuccessful, a minor surgical procedure known as a partial nail avulsion may be necessary. This procedure involves the removal of a portion of the ingrown toenail under local anesthesia. It is a safe and effective long-term solution for ingrown toenails.
- Nail and Tissue Removal: In rare cases where conservative and partial nail avulsion treatments aren't effective, a more extensive surgical procedure may be required to remove part or all of the nail and affected tissue. Our podiatrists will discuss this option with you if it becomes necessary.
Post-Treatment Care
Following any procedure, we provide detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. Our team will guide you through the recovery process, answer any questions you may have, and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
